I need a Stack data structure for my use case. I should be able to push items into the data structure and I only want to retrieve the last item from the Stack. The JavaDoc for Stack says :
A more complete and consistent set of LIFO stack operations is
provided by the Deque interface and its implementations, which should
be used in preference to this class. For example:
Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<>();
I definitely do not want synchronized behavior here as I will be using this datastructure local to a method . Apart from this why should I prefer Deque over Stack here ?
P.S: The javadoc from Deque says :
Deques can also be used as LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) stacks. This
interface should be used in preference to the legacy Stack class.
